Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 21 / Wednesday, February 1, 2012 / Proposed Rules 4947 

data for the 3-year period 2003 to 2005, 

EPA is proposing to determine that the 

Baltimore severe 1-hour ozone 

nonattainment area failed to attain the 

1-hour ozone NAAQS by the applicable 

attainment date of November 15, 2005. 

B. Proposed Determination That the 

Baltimore Area Is Currently Attaining 

the 1-Hour Ozone Attainment 

Second, however, EPA is proposing to 

determine that the Baltimore area is 

currently attaining the 1-hour ozone 

NAAQS, based upon the most recent 

three years of complete, quality-assured 

and certified ambient air monitoring 

data (2008–2010). The preliminary data 

that is available for 2011 show that the 

area continues to attain the standard. 

Moreover, the Baltimore area has 

monitored attainment of the 1-hour 

ozone NAAQS since the 2006–2008 

monitoring period. If this proposed 

determination is made final, the 

obligation for the State of Maryland to 

submit contingency measures related to 

attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS 

in the Baltimore severe 1-hour ozone 

nonattainment area would be 

suspended. These proposed 

determinations regarding the 1-hour 

ozone standard, if finalized, would bear 

on the Baltimore area’s obligations with 

respect to the 1-hour ozone antibacksliding requirements for section 

172(c)(9) contingency measures for 

failure to attain that standard, and 

sections 182(d)(3) and 185 major 

stationary source fee programs. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action proposes to make 

determinations of attainment and 

nonattainment based on monitored air 

quality data and does not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by statute or regulation. For 

that reason, these proposed actions: 

• Are not ‘‘significant regulatory 

actions’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Do not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Are certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Do not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Do not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Are not economically significant 

regulatory actions based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Are not significant regulatory 

actions subject to Executive Order 

13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Are not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; 

and 

• Do not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

• In addition, these proposed actions 

regarding attainment of the 1-hour 

ozone NAAQS in the Baltimore area do 

not have Tribal implications as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because 

the SIP is not approved to apply in 

Indian country located in the state, and 

EPA notes that it will not impose 

substantial direct costs on Tribal 

governments or preempt Tribal law.

Proposed Significant New Use Rules 

on Certain Chemical Substances; 

Reopening of Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: EPA issued a proposed rule in 

the Federal Register of December 28, 

2011, concerning proposed significant 

new use rules (SNURs) under section 

5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA) for 17 chemical substances 

which were the subject of 

premanufacture notices (PMNs). In 

order to address public comments, EPA 

is reopening the comment period for 45 

days. 

DATES: Comments, identified by docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2010–0279, must be received on 

or before March 19, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document reopens the public comment 

period established in the Federal 

Register of December 28, 2011 (76 FR 

81447) (FRL–9326–2). In that document, 

EPA proposed SNURs under section 

5(a)(2) of TSCA for 17 chemical 

substances which were the subject of 

PMNs. Fifteen of these chemical 

substances are subject to TSCA section 

5(e) consent orders issued by EPA. EPA 

received comments in response to the 

proposed SNURs, noting that the 

proposed SNURs and corresponding 

consent orders present many 

complicated technical and scientific 

issues and meaningful public input will 

require a substantial amount of time and 

effort. The commenters requested that 

additional time be allotted to provide 

interested parties an appropriate 

opportunity to develop meaningful 

comments on the agency’s proposed 

action. EPA is hereby reopening the 

comment period for 45 days to allow for 

any public comments for any of the 

chemical substances in the proposed 

rule.
